[Boatanchors] dx60

[Ed - K9EW]

Hi Wayne,

Congrats on the DX-60.  I just got one a few months ago, and it's
waiting to be re-capped.  Fortunately, there are only a few 'lytics in
it.  I also read about rewiring the Mode Switch so that it doesn't
switch the HV transformer lead directly, but does it indirectly
through a relay.  That sounded like a good idea, since it could burn
up part of the wafer switch due to arcing.  Those are the only mods I
can think of.  Let me know if you can't find that Mode Switch mod with
a Google (that's how I found it), and I'll see if I can track it down.
